So I was sitting here thinking how much quicker my entries could be if I had a standard list of abbreviations I could use for my blog. I think I will add to it as I go that way I can come up with them as needed....it may also give some insight to me if I have to try to define situations in my life in terms others understand.
KM - my wonderful daughter ~ 9/97 ~ who has been homeschooling since 12/07
CJ - KM's dad
DN - CJ's son ~ 8/96 ~ and of course therefore KM's half brother
Noni - my earth angel gone back to heaven (my adoptive mom who passed away in 2006)
Dad or My father - this seems redundant but my dad refers to my adoptive father, who once upon a time was married to Noni
MC - my adoptive OLDER sister that I grew up with
ZF - My oldest nephew from my adoptive sister 4/93
SC - my wonderful niece from my adoptive sister 6/07
GC - my unique niece from my adoptive sister 6/09
MJ - my twin nephew from my adoptive sister 5/11
AR - my twin niece from my adoptive sister 5/11
"The Littles" - refers to only SC, and GC,
"The Itty Bitties" - refers to only MJ and AR
AM - KM's very best friend
DFD- my biomom (i am an adult adoptee reconnected since 1997)

SAHM-SAHD-SAHP - stay at home mom / dad / parent

Now if that doesn't make my thoroughly confusing family more clear for you...
then you are sane. I have trouble keeping most of it straight myself.
